Hello everyone,
I'd like to fit alloy rim onto my wife's Peugeot, which currently has 622x18 rims.
It seems to be a difficult size to find, most rims being 622x19 and I even found a very nice 622x20. Would this difference in width affect the fitting of the tire?
I ask this because it seems that fitting the same 700x28c Gatorskin tire on the back and front wheel was VERY different, it slotted in place very easily on the back wheel, but I had to struggle to fit the tire on the front wheel (which doens't have any marking on it, so I don't know exactly what width it is).
I would imagine that wider rims would make it harder to fit the tire, right?
